Embrace the Suck: Real Emotional Fitness Strategies | Dr. Emily Anhalt


Listen Later

Feeling like 'self-care' is just another word for avoiding your problems? Psychologist Dr. Emily Anhalt joins the boys to unpack the concept of Emotional Fitness — a proactive approach to mental health that involves leaning into discomfort, not away from it. Discover the 7 traits of emotionally fit people (including mindfulness, resilience, and playfulness!) and learn practical 'emotional push-ups' you can do daily to build strength, even when it sucks. Dr. Anhalt breaks down why waiting until 'shit hits the fan' isn't the best strategy, how to reframe negative self-talk by talking to your 'inner five-year-old', and why true growth comes from embracing the uncomfortable. Get ready to flex your feelings and ditch the B.S. self-care trends.
